18--25 Seconds
My learning experience with temporary Radiator holddown was with 2 thin aluminum strips 3/4" wide @ original top bracket locations.
You won't think of Wind Force against a Large Flat surface,until about 50 mph,Squeese the gas Just a little!!,Hear the noise,recognize it,Turn OFF KEY,Smell new antifreeze,engine winds down,you get to the side of the road, open the hood,(elapsed time 18-25 secconds), to see the SAME Fanblade,just ate my Brand new $195.00 Radiator.....only 40 miles from home!
That feeling in my stomach... "Priceless"
Moral: carry needle nose pliers,& water in the antifreeze bottle.pinch the holes closed in the Radiator,(its already screwed up) watchfor refill sources all the way home.
How Much was That ALUM. Radiator????
